I recently visited Ocean 7, a restaurant located in downtown, and I must admit, my experience was a mixed bag.
Menu Selection
The menu was surprisingly limited, which made it difficult to find something exciting to try. For a restaurant in a prime downtown location, I expected more variety and creativity.
Food Quality
The pasta I ordered was disappointingly bland, lacking any real flavor. The chicken, which should have been a highlight, had an odd taste that left much to be desired. Even the chicken on the burger, which could have redeemed itself, was bland and uninspiring. That said, the burger sauce was a rare bright spot, packing a good punch of flavor that somewhat saved the dish. The BBQ wings were perfectly tender, smoky, and bursting with flavor.
Side Dishes
The wedges, however, were exceptional! Crisp, golden, and perfectly seasoned, they stood out as the best part of the meal. They even outshone many other places I’ve been to.
Drinks
The drinks were impressively strong, which was a definite plus. If nothing else, you can count on Ocean 7 for a solid drink.
Overall
While Ocean 7 has some redeeming qualities, like its drinks and outstanding wedges, the overall dining experience fell flat due to a lack of menu options and underwhelming main dishes. I’d recommend this spot only if you’re in the mood for drinks and a quick snack, but not for a satisfying meal.
